In answer to Ken's question, yes, I did do a make modules; make
modules_install.

Just a quick question, but you mean when I recompiled the 2.2.5 kernel for
like the 2nd or 3rd time right (note: each of the compilations was with a
different config)? And if your answer is yes, then no, I did not rename
the existing 2.2.5 mod tree, (or any of the old kernel (2.0.36)) trees for
that matter) I am curious as to what this kind of errors this would cause
as I never thought of this before. Maybe you could enlighten me.
